Too much magnification reveals things our eyes typically miss, but anomalies that are commonplace b/c the printing process does not make perfect bills on the microscopic level. Anything magnified too much shows flaws.

Keep looking and you will find these types of things on paper money. Its all normal. Some is post printing such as the black circular looking mark in your last picture. Bills get all sorts of small stains, marks etc. from circulation.

Just about any circulated bill can be found to have anomalies like these on them.

If you go to eBay SOLD auctions, you will not find many, if any, examples of things like this like these being sold for any value b/c people who collect currency know what is actually a collectable error that came out of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving (the "BEP" - where bills are made), what are simply circulation issues such as stains/marks, and how common tiny imperfections in the printing process are.

Like I said, please go ahead and keep looking as you have been. Soon you will also come to the conclusion what you are seeing is not unusual/rare/valuable.

Realization has set in. Do you know of a source that just gets to the point of what to look for on a bill error wise or value wise. I know if there are 6-8 of the same numbers and then folds in the bill. Plus star notes. Ya'no I started out doing pennies to occupy my mind and then the whole thing just went crazy. I literally have thousands of coins, if not tens of thousands, strewn around without any semblance of organization. Time to regroup. I have lost the battle but not the war.

Someone on here may know of a good one, but I am not a currency collector. I suggest using a search engine.

I am not a currency collector either, but here are a few sites I have used to better understand currency and their value to help out some friends:

https://papermoneyguide.com/currency_errors.html

https://www.thepennyhoarder.com/make-mo ... orth-more/

https://www.mycurrencycollection.com/re ... er-checker

https://www.uscurrency.gov/denomination ... dentifiers

https://www.bep.gov/resources/serialnumbers.html

Read all you can to educate yourself, these sites will surely keep your mind occupied some more. Best of luck!
